Hi this is my first time on here so be gentle!
I had my eyes tested today and need new glasses. We are in receipt of IS, CA, & DLA as my husband is disabled. I can have a voucher towards glasses but I want to know if I use the voucher and then come off IS in the next couple of weeks (I am starting a degree 2 days a week) will there be any come back on me getting the glasses on a voucher? We have been on benefits a long time and I am happy to be coming off them, I will be getting grants for college and will be working part time. Won't be any better off as I will need to get some help in for my husband but I so want to do this degree and work again. Sorry for digressing and thanks for any help

If you use the vouchers before you come off IS there will be no come back.
You are entitled to the voucher at this moment in time and if your circumstances change the day after you use the voucher it won't effect your entitlement to use it.0 -
Thank you Frester. I will go and get some new specs tomorrow. I have quite a high prescription so the voucher will help a lot.0
